The two senators backing a permanent legislative ban on Chinese vehicles in the U.S. will not seek approval until the Senate returns from recess in November, congressional aides said Sept. 30. Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno said Sept. 29 that he planned to seek fast-track approval for the stringent ban on Chinese vehicles this week before the Senate left ahead of the November congressional election. But supporters were unable to address the concerns of a holdout senator, Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky, who had raised concerns it was unfairly targeting Mercedes-Benz. The bill’s other chief ​sponsor, Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, said Sept. 22 that all Democrats support moving ahead and she was hoping to get fast-track approval this week. #China# #Chinesevehicles# #Chinesecars# #automotive# #autoindustry# #MercedesBenz#
